HETEROPSYLLUS T. Scott, 1894 (syn. Cletomesochra Sars G.O., 1920)
"The genus Heteropsyllus T. Scott, 1894 can be
referred to as the mass genera Canthocamptidae s. lat.
This genus, which is quite complex for taxonomy, was
initially attributed to Cletodidae T. Scott, 1904 [Lang,
1948] and later transferred to Canthocamptidae [Por,
1986]. Kornev & Chertoprud [2008] separated the genus into a monotypic family Heteropsyllidae Kornev et
Chertoprud, 2008. Following that, some authors still
indicated this genus as part of the Canthocamptidae
family [George, 2013; Garlitska et al., 2019], including the recently described species Heteropsyllus spongiophilus Novikov et Sharafutdinova, 2021. The authors indicated the similarity of Heteropsyllus in some
characteristics to Hemimesochrinae; however, they do
not indicate the exact position [Novikov, Sharafutdinova 2021]" (from Novikov et al., 2021
The genus should be separated into the family Heteropsyllidae, according to Kornev & Chertoprud [2008].
